# Non-Windows and mobile platforms support

Due to hardware and software limitations, non-Windows Parallels Clients (including Chrome and Web) send printing jobs in the PDF format only (Parallels Clients are forced to use it automatically, no configuration required).

Parallels Client for Linux and Parallels Client for Mac can replicate server-side printers based on the actual Parallels Client printer configuration. Other non-Windows Parallels Clients perform redirection based on the legacy mode in which a virtual printer does not have the same hardware characteristics as a local printer, but has a default (predefined) set of properties, such as printer margins, paper sizes, etc.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-universal-printing-best-practices/v20/parallels-ras-universal-printing-best-practices/non-windows-and-mobile-platforms-support.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
